A self-centred little man with a propeller on his back, living on the roof of your block of flats? If you are a lonely little boy like Smidge, all sorts of adventures await when you team up with such a wayward troublemaker. This rumbustious classic of Swedish children's literature and its two sequels are now available in new translations for the twenty-first century.

It is both a bridge and a tunnel, and carries both motor and rail traffic. It was opened in 2000 and is well known in the UK to viewers of the popular TV drama series The Bridge shown on BBC4.
